Spring is in the air, and if you are like me, you are looking forward to getting into the garden and working on new projects around the house. Before you dig in though, you will want to check out an annual tradition here in Arlington. It is time once again for the Arlington Home Show & Garden Expo. This is your one stop for all the latest and great in remodeling, decorating and gardening products and services.

There are also classes on finding the right contractor to work with, financing your home for a remodel, replacing your lawn with a garden, green remodeling, condo living, do-it-yourself plumbing repairs and projects, and so much more. The website has a full schedule of the classes and workshops so you can plan your visit at the expo right.

Ask the Expert- Area specialists will be on site at the home show to help you navigate through complex subjects such as permits required for remodeling, questions on eco-friendly home projects, and what are the best garden options for your property. This new feature of the home show will include experts from Arlington County, the Green Home Choice program, Historic Preservation Program, Inspection, Zoning and Code services and Master Gardeners from the Virginia Cooperative office. Whatever your question about home or garden may be, chances are you will get some helpful advice at the expo.
